The visitors make four changes to the side that lost 1-0 to Sunderland on Boxing Day, with Javi Garcia, Carlos Tevez, James Milner and Kolo Toure all demoted to the bench, as Clichy, Dzeko, Samir Nasri and Gareth Barry all start.

The hosts, meanwhile, make only one change with Holt not involved at all in the matchday squad, and Steve Morison replacing him up front.
